REFLECTION

It is hard to believe that the 2021 school year is coming to an end. Although we are at the end of the school term and just a couple of weeks before we conclude 2021, we have actually already begun a new year – that is the new liturgical year that commenced on Sunday, the first day of Advent! The Church always begins its new year by journeying through Advent, the four week long season of preparing for Christ’s coming at Christmas. Although Christmas decorations and the shopping season is in full swing, there is wisdom in the season of Advent teaching us to take time to prepare. To be patient, to slow down, to give thanks for our blessings and to wait for Jesus’ arrival with hope, joy and happiness in our hearts!

“As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved,

clothe yourselves with compassion,

kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.”

We wish you family a happy, holy and blessed Christmas.
